Every Tile Tells a Story
Under the weight of over a century, original hand-painted flooring, Spanish-inspired arches, and high ceilings evoke a time when artful technique, artisan aesthetics, and masterful craftsmanship reigned supreme. Patio Elba preserves these echoes and lets history breathe through its walls.
Architecture as Canvas
What once was an abandoned mansion was reborn with a $1.5 million restoration, transforming worn walls into 11 refined suites. The building’s structure now frames art, space, and light.
Culture has a Pulse
Located in a district known for its murals, music, galleries, nightlife, and café chatter, Patio Elba becomes the bridge between heritage architecture and contemporary culture, inviting guests to live among local energy rather than observe it from the sidelines.
Meet the Team
Local architects, artisans, and hospitality professionals joined forces in 2024 to give this mansion its second life. Their dedication shaped the spirit that now welcomes you home.
